I also had them install the Emporia Vue Energy monitor inside my panel. As I had a combo panel, Kirill immediately recommended that I purchase a pair of 200A Flexible Sensors from Emporia to replace the sensors that came with the Vue, as the provided sensors would not work in my panel. That gave me a lot of confidence that they knew the Emporia products and were very experienced installers. Kirill and Erin were highly responsive from the first estimate through scheduling: quick to answer questions and easy to reach whenever I needed an update. Customer service was great throughout: professional, straightforward, and clearly experienced with EV charger installs specifically, not just general electrical work. The install itself was on our gate about 12 feet from the main panel, and Erin's attention to detail really showed: clean wiring, a tidy install, everything weatherproofed properly and great to work with. They also handled pulling the city permit. Kirill came right on time, met the city inspector, and we had a permit without any problems. Pricing was fair and a great value for the quality of work, no surprises, no shortcuts, done right the first time. Highly recommend if you're looking for an EV charger install: professional, responsive, and the work speaks for itself.

The latter are usually pleasant, friendly, cheerful and seem to enjoy their jobs for the most part. Everyone has an off day once in a while, but every time I shop here, the checkers seem to be anxious for their next break. There is a crack in your foundation. It's also a drag to so often have overcharges that would go unnoticed by me if I had not taken a receipt. I can't recall a time I was UNDER charged, but overcharges happen often.

I have a 60 year old house with an on-going need for electrical repair and upgrade. Recently I needed a 240 outlet and sub-panel installed. The contractor I have used over the years was busy, and that's when I found Paul Nijssen (of Nijssen Electric) on-line, and I'm glad I did. After providing a reasonable estimate, he started the job only to find the main service panel a complete disaster. He pointed out wiring mistakes, major code violations, and other safety issues. This discovery meant it would take much more time and effort to redo what should have been done correctly by the previous electrician. After he finished what turned out to be a comprehensive overhaul of the electrical system ( with great skill and efficiency, I might add ), I expected to pay more, but Paul thought it only fair to stick to the original estimate. Wow! That's never happened in my ten years as homeowner dealing with various contractors. For me, all the 5 star YELP reviews for Nijssen Electric --"knowledgeable", "trustworthy", "honest", "pride-in-workmanship", etc.-- were reaffirmed in the overall experience of hiring Paul, from start to finish. For that, I highly recommend Nijssen Electric. read more

EVCHARGE4U installed our Tesla charger back in 2020 (and they did a great job then too). Recently, we had an issue where the charger was flashing an error light signifying over-voltage. They sent a tech out and, although he was expecting to find a defective charger, he discovered that PG&E was delivering power at 275V instead of the residential standard of 240V. This actually explained why other appliances in our home were acting weird as well. Rather than leaving this for us to deal with, the tech worked with PG&E to get an incident opened and service scheduled. PG&E stepped up and had a truck out in the afternoon to confirm and isolate the issue (it turned out to be affecting multiple homes). PG&E sent a crew later the same night to replace the transformer. Our charger is back to normal and (most of) the other appliances are back to working correctly as well. Thanks to EVCHARGE4U for getting the ball rolling so this complex issue was resolved within the day. read more

This may have been an isolated incident, but our experience with EvCharge4U was disappointing. They did not fully complete the work nor secure the required permit. Unfortunately, we only discovered this a couple of years later during a remodeling project after the tenant had moved out. While the initial contact about this issue was handled well, our interaction with the owner, Paul, was deeply frustrating -- it only improved after we indicated that we might involve the permitting authority. One detail highlights the gravity of the oversight: after installing the new panel, they failed to disconnect the old one. This posed a significant safety hazard, as the new contractor, unaware the old panel was still live, could have been seriously injured while removing it. Although the issue has since been addressed, giving a low rating due to the lack of diligence and professionalism displayed by the company, especially during our engagement with Paul. read more

Paul is the best electrician I've ever employed. He has installed outdoor lights that work perfectly to automatically illuminate our driveway and door when anyone enters the area, and he has installed and repaired electrical outlets and connections inside our home. He is knowledgeable, great at explaining the work that needs to be done, extremely competent, and a pleasant presence in one's home. Friends to whom I've recommended him have thanked me for steering them to someone whose charges are fair, and whom they trust to work anywhere in their homes. All have recommended them to their friends when electrical work is needed. Last but not least, Paul's work is neat and he leaves the work area clean and tidy.

Paul installed an outlet NEMA 14-50 for my Tesla last yr. Started to have problems with my car charging about 2 months ago. Charging would stop in the middle of night, sometimes restart, sometimes not. Took cable and car into Tesla and they said everything was fine had to be the outlet. Sent Paul an E-mail, came over within 48 hrs. Took out breaker, tighten all screws, change receptacle and I was still getting the same problem. Since he works closely with Tesla, he called up assistant service manager and told him to test cable over a 15 min period and sure enough, problem was with Tesla cable. He was there for an hour and a half until we got everything taken care off, went over to Tesla, got new cable after test and now without a problem. tx Paul. read more

My Tesla will not move absent an electric charge. The 220 wall unit was not working and using 110 line was loading only 3 miles per hour. So I called EVCHARGE4U to have the unit serviced. Paul was great! Although the technician (Andrew) for my area was fully booked, Paul added me to the roster. I was delighted to see Andrew show up, as he installed the unit in Jan 2016, and I was much impressed by him back then. Andrew was very organized and meticulous. He trouble shot the wall unit, the panel in the garage, and then the connections to the panel outside of the garage. He got everything tightened down and when he was done the unit worked.

Wire Tech Electric is now my go-to electrical team!…read more I have nothing but great things to say about Wire Tech Electric. From my initial contact, which was responsive and very pleasant, to the moment the tech walked out of my home after completing the work, the experience was stress-free and exceptional. I received a text 30 minutes before the tech arrived, and the text included a picture of who would be arriving to do the work. Great safety feature for situational awareness! When Olvin arrived, before I even had a chance to ask, he had already pulled shoe covers from his pocket and put them on, stepping into my home with the covered shoes (rather than putting the covers on outside and stepping on the porch, thus defeating the purpose). Olvin examined my 44-year-old master bath exhaust fan and provided a quote on the spot, after which he scheduled the actual work that would be done. I had already purchased the replacement fan, and was relieved when he told me that 1), the brand that I had purchased is the best brand on the market, 2), that brand is the only one they install (except for units supplied by the customer), and 3) they install this brand every single day. On the day for which the work was scheduled, I received a 30-minute ETA text with photo. Francisco, the electrician, got straight to work after asking a few questions. He was finished with the work in less than the quoted three hours (he had to cut the opening to accommodate the new fan unit and patch up after). I had expected to have to clean up dust and mop the floor after he left. However, none of this was necessary because he had covered the entire floor from the front door to the bathroom, AND the walls, shower, and vanity with 3mil plastic sheeting to prevent the settlement of dust. After testing the fan with me there to ensure everything was working properly, he gave me the option of paying on the spot or being invoiced (I chose the latter, as is my standard practice). The only con that I have is that Francisco changed the wall switch configuration. Previously, it was set so that switch #1 would turn on only the vanity lighting, and switch# two controlled the fan/fan light together. His reasoning was definitely valid, but I was so used to the way it was previously set. The issue with the new configuration is that it makes the bathroom too bright when I go in early in the morning, before my eyes have time to adjust after sleeping. I contacted customer service to let them know how pleased I was with the work and to mention the switch issue. The woman with whom I spoke immediately scheduled a follow-up visit, and a few days later, Olvin was dispatched to change the switch back. All said, I am exceedingly pleased with the Wire Tech Electric team, from intake to install to invoice, and highly recommend them! They will be my go-to electric company going forward!

All of those items were addressed immediately within one day. It was a real pleasure working with Olvin and his crew. Olvin had excellent communication, was very patient with all of my questions, and made the whole process much less stressful than I expected. Their price was also reasonable and competitive compared with two other quotes I received. They also helped with Ethernet wiring and mounting cameras at the same time as the electrical work, which was very convenient. I highly recommend WireTech Electric for both large and small residential electrical jobs.

Our technician, Eduardo (Ed), was professional, friendly, and completed the setup perfectly and neatly. It's been 8 months, and everything still works flawlessly. Our area has occasional power outages, but Ed ensured the system is fully secure against overcurrents, giving me great peace of mind while charging my Model Y. Huge thanks to Ed! I would absolutely hire them again if I move to a new house. Highly recommended!
